I found some links for ORWL. Unlike Purism, I think they're genuinely trying. But their product has significant problems, are not open, and are vulnerable to a variety of attacks as bad as any mainstream lap/desktop out there.

Joanna Rutkowska (Qubes OS Goddess) wrote in her blog: https://blog.invisiblethings.org/2016/09/03/thoughts-about-orwl.html

Then ORWL replied, to their credit, agreeing with many of the points (and likewise, changing some things): https://www.crowdsupply.com/design-shift/orwl/updates/invisible-things

I'm not a Schneier, nor a Rutkowska, but I listen. If they have concerns, I have concerns (as Joanna does here). Reddit and GitHub comments are hit or miss. People like Joanna are reliable.

This section will be added to the site when we find better options.

Merging on the basis of an approval of another reddit mod (u/trai_dep) and the urgency of this matter.
